David Electric

What David Electric does

David Electric is a family-owned electrical contracting firm headquartered in Carbondale, Colorado, serving residential and commercial customers across the Roaring Fork Valley — including Aspen, Glenwood Springs, and Carbondale. Founded in 1975 by Bob David, the firm is now in its second generation of family ownership under Shane David and Amanda David, and has operated continuously in the region for approximately fifty years.

The company delivers traditional electrical contracting services — installation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and 24/7 emergency response — alongside specialized offerings in green energy, low-voltage systems, and smart-home/lighting-control integration supported by manufacturer partnerships with Lutron, Crestron, and FLIR. Trade-association memberships in IEC, CEDIA, and NFIB indicate investment in ongoing certification and small-business advocacy relevant to the firm's scope of work.

David Electric operates a direct-to-customer, quote-based pricing model with no disclosed subscription or recurring-revenue structure beyond project-by-project service. Its commercial book includes named relationships with property-management and construction-management firms, while the residential book serves individual homeowners in a market characterized by high-end custom construction. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people per public firmographic data, though only three to four family members are identified by name, implying a small core of tradespeople and support staff relative to the listed headcount band.

Broad incumbents

• Encore Electric: Large Colorado-headquartered electrical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and renewable markets. Comparable in geography and full-service electrical scope but operates at materially greater scale than David Electric.

• Faith Technologies: Large national electrical and specialty systems contractor serving commercial, industrial, and renewable markets. Comparable on service breadth (including renewable/energy) but operates at enterprise scale with national reach.
• Mister Sparky: National franchise electrical services brand focused on residential and light commercial. Represents the standardized, marketing-driven competitor model against which David Electric's local, relationship-driven approach must compete.

• Bonham Electric: Denver-area electrical contractor providing residential and commercial services including wiring, lighting, and remodels. Comparable in offering and Colorado geography, with somewhat broader metro presence.
